Poor pink. Take the pills. It isn't for long, and if it helps over the next few weeks, then all power to it. There's no need to be so stoical, chemo is quite enough to be dealing with. And no thoughts of shed painting for a bit (unless you think it will give you a lift, in which case, go right ahead).
Smee - your ds does sound like a very clever boy. Does he watch CBeebies? I only ask because we caught a bit first thing this morning and they were talking about incubating eggs and seeing what happens. I don't think it was a programme, it was one of those links that they repeat endlessly. it may have spurred him on towards experimenting. It definitely struck a chord with ref to your ds when I saw it.
Yay to SR for the departure of the PG. He sounds hard to put up with. I hope he has gone somewhere nice and permanent.
And double yay for SR and KK's weight loss. i think I really have stalled. I have not eaten anything naughty for ages (apart from that smidge of coffee and walnut cake, which was only virtual, after all), I am going to have to examine portion size, and join you, KK, on the exercise truck. groan.
A wasp in the tights sounds awful, but probably very funny to watch. My dad had a wasp in his trousers once. I thought he was doing a funny dance for a moment. One of the funniest things I have ever seen. 
I imagine he felt he had got his own back when I stepped on a bee barefoot later the same day. That was quite a summer
